I'm so fortunate..

To live in VA where I am 33 miles inland of the oceanfront and then have surrounding fields and land around where I can find cool stuff in the ground.

With finds like that I would not bother with the beach.

That's some weird scratching around the date on your LC. Wonder what that was all about. And I'm sure that 2-piece button had you going for a minute. Still a nice looking one that cleaned up nicely. Good hunt!

I like that two piece gilted button Ina. I'm sure the LC gave you a rush when you first spotted it in the dirt!

Nice find. I've almost forgotten what a LC looks like it's been so long since I dug one. There is a really narrow time frame to get one down here. Mid 1840s to Civil War or a little later (too late and I don't really want to hunt the site--would rather find the earlier stuff). Coppers didn't circulate down here until quite late (none made in New Orleans, only Philly, and it took a long time for them to circulate down here).

Well done,


Buck
